OK, so i bought some really comfy / sweat pants last week from aeropostal. the small size was too tight, so i bought the medium. i hand washed the pants cause i didnt want the legs to shrink. my question is, how in the world to i shink the waist size?? there not huge on me, but its just a little big around the waist, and i DONT want to shrink the legs to make them shorter. ive already tied the waist band, but there still just a little too big. i dont want to return them for the small, cause those were just a little too tight. is there any possible way to shrink the waist size down and keep it down? seriuos answers please!! Thanx yall, God Bless♥

The best solution is to have them professionally altered. Most dry cleaners or tailors can easily accomplish this on jeans, sweats or slacks.
Normally to shrink cotton, you would wash hot and dry hot, but doing that on the waist but not the legs would be next to impossible.
I believe those are your options... Sorry.

Find someone with a sewing machine and have them take in the waist. Either a friend or a tailor can do it. You could probably even pay a student in a costume department $5 to do it.

The only thing you can do is wash in hot water and dry on high heat. That's as much as they will ever shrink. Sorry.

Return them for the small and I bet ya the small will stretch out to be just perfect.
